For those with squeaky brakes, you better check if your pads are getting low. There's a clip that touches the rotor and makes a noise to let you know it's time to change pads. Man, up and you will end up replacing rotors unnecessarily.

Alright I need to to clarify something. Are we talking screeching, scratchy (nails on a chalkboard) type of noise that we hear everyday or are we talking SQUEAKY, like a squeaky door: Eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwweeeeeeewwwwweer. Lol cause that's what I have. Whenever i pump the brakes at a stop they squeak. I have the zx brakes so I guess ill apply anti-seize lube On the pins like someone previous said, see if that works
